L-1A Sustained — Fashion Jewelry (2009): the director denied the petition, concluding the petitioner

Decision Summary

The director denied the petition, concluding the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary, as president of a new office, would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity within one year. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the evidence, including an existing staff of six employees and plans to hire more, sufficiently demonstrated that the U.S. operation could support the beneficiary in a qualifying managerial/executive role within the required timeframe.
